Informed Breathing

  • You can go for weeks without food, days without water, but only a few minutes without breathing.

  • Breathing has such an immediate impact on your mind and body that even the act of inhaling vs. exhaling affects your nervous system differently.

Training in diet, exercise, and even hydration is common, but almost no one trains their breath. This is a huge missed opportunity for health-seekers. I’ve developed a new program called Informed Breathing to help us all breathe easier, deeper and healthier.

INFORMED BREATHING is a series of classes taken individually or in a group that will teach you how to breathe to stimulate, how to breathe to calm, and how to breathe to increase your uptake volume of breath, which correlates with a longer, healthier life, across all populations.  

  • Informed Breathing can change your blood PH (acid/alkaline) in minutes. No food, exercise or medication acts as quickly.

  • Informed Breathing at a reduced rate stimulates the rest and digest nervous system response and helps with sleep, stress, and anxiety.

  • Informed Breathing more at a more rapid rate timulates the activating nervous system response, which can increase energy, prepare for exercise, and boost the body’s natural defenses.

  • Informed Breathing massages the vagus nerve and reduces heart rate, lowers blood pressure, and reduces stress.

  • Informed Breathing can help reduce the fear of public speaking, improves digestion, reduces insomnia, and lower stress, anxiety, and overwhelm.

I’ve studied under the master Wim Hof and worked closely with a senior Buteyko breathing coach who taught me the vital role of CO2 in breathing. I’ve learned that there is no mystery to breathing at all. Breathing is fun and easy to practice. The exercises I give are short and potent. Instead of dodging their daily breathing exercise, students look forward to it.

The science of breathing has been well-researched for over 100 years, but few people have applied the actual science of breathing and given it to students. This seems crazy, but it’s true. Informed Breathing is an active form of meditation with all the same well-documented and highly reproducible results.  The more I teach breathing, the happier my clients are with their results.
